Saturday Series August 24, 2019-
A tough day! Most of the day (at least as soon as the first race started and until the last race #10 was finished) there was zero – 3 MPH tops wind. The prevailing direction was NE meaning that the trees blocked a good bit of the lake from getting what breeze there was, and made setting race courses very difficult for RD Brad Ferrell. Usually it was S/F out in the middle, sail to Mark X or 6, then round and go west to either Mark 4 then 3 or even 2, before finishing.
In GOLD, Bob Green was dominant- winning 8 out of the 10 Heats – and discarding one of his others for a score of just 12 points. In second, Rick Lawler followed by Bob Valentine were 10- 17 points ahead of the rest.
In SILVER Fleet- with only 4 boats competing, Tom Bluhm won 7 of his 9 counted races to total 9 points after the single Discard. In Second Place was Scott Westrum- who won 3 Heats in a good light air performance, 3 points ahead of Third Place Bob Kalman.
